Please help !

So I know it’s a coolant hose issue because all of it dumped out next to my car but can anyone help me determine what part this/ part number or what I can do to fix this ? Kinda stranded trying to figure this out... it’s to the right of the battery housing behind the engine. Passenger side.

Won’t let me upload the video so screenshotting to try and show where it is

That is to the heater hoses. Get the Z1 metal coolant bleeder. That will take it's place.

I've fixed something like that before with an underwater epoxy and silicone tape from walmart just to limp home from the middle of nowhere. (please don't do this)

I'd guess it goes to the heater, but I can't find anything like it for the HVAC or Coolant systems on Courtesy Parts.

I feel like it may be the lower left (in the illustration) hose here https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-sil...et-p-5202.html

Good call, sounds like the best solution.

Correct, factory pieces are usually plastic and yours seems to have left you and the kids. I'd replace the spring clamps while you're at it. That's not something that really ever falls out...

Anyone know if there's a lot of flex there? Maybe worn motor mounts wiggled it loose?

Yeah kind of screwed me lol. But thanks for the help. Anything else I should be aware of while doing this? Just fit that in there fill my coolant back up and I should be good to go?

The little plastic coupler dry rots over time and bam. Not coolant.

I’m ordering this part but is there a temporary fix I can do to get my car home ? I’m in a paid parking lot right now and my place is like a 10 minute drive from center city. I just don’t want to have to keep paying for the parking longer than I have to lol

CRiZO · 03-07-2019, 09:30 PM

I forgot 2009 was 10 years ago lol. :grandpa:

Tow strap and a slow butt-clenching ride home with you steering and braking?

Depending on the paid parking, it may be cheaper to just let it sit there than anything. Maybe $20/day? I'd just make sure the lot owners and their tow company are aware, so you don't have impound fees and **** to worry about.

Here is the part number if you have somewhere local you could just pick it up from: 92417-JK20A

just tow it home...

as other stated, this connector usually causes a slow leak, but your is broken in half. it is in a tight spot and be sure to bleed the cool system.

PVC coupler from Lowe's /Home depot, 2 hose clamps and some coolant. Looks like 1/2in size. The PVC couplers are gray in color with slip ends on both sides.
